NO SALOON
IN FOREST GROVE
JUDGE MeBRIDE SO DECIDES
The Laglalature Had No Intention
That the Council Should Grant
hast Monday moruing Judge
McBride rendered his decision in
the saloon injunction case at Forest
Grove, which was adverse to the
city council granting a license for
saloon purposes. His decision is
as follows:
'That the iiiHtitution was founded by
Harvey Clark with the stipulation that
no intoxicating liquors should ever be
dispensed on the 200 acres deeded to the
University. That there has never been
a licensed saloon in the town, and that
because of this fact many people bouiiht
property and resided there, and that be
cause of this many endowments have
been made to the University. That the
Mayor and Council have passed a license
ordinance, and that A. U. Watson is
about to open a saloon within 300 feet
of the University entrance."
Judge McBride said the Important
question was whether the authorities
have the right to license a saloon. By
the charter they ate given the right to
regulate. In his decision he reviews
the amendments made to the Forest
Grove charter at various sessions, and
then says: t '
'Taking the charter by its four cor
nera and seeking in its contents as a
whole for light upon this question, I
cannot read the word license into it.
The legislature did not put it there ;
the City Council, which caused this
charter to be presented and wrote their
approvals of its provisions upon its face,
did not put it there and the court will
not put it there.
I am satisfied that the Legislature
no more intended that the City Council
hould license the selling of liquor than
it should license a bawdy house or a
gambling hell. In passing upon this
question the court does not consider
what would be best for the citizens of
Forest Grove. It is possible that the li
quor traffic would be less dangerous to
the public morals if conducted a I re
quired in the proposed ordinance, than
it would be conducted secretly and un
lawfully, but if that is true they have to
go to the legislature and secure the
authority which in power is lacking in
the present cliarUr.
"The ordinances set forth in the com
plaint are wholly void for want of author
ity in the City Council to pans it, and
the demurrer will be overruled."
Forest Grove, Or., April 3.
(Special.) Temperance people here
are rejoicing at the decision of
Judge McBride, which grants a per
manent injunction against the is
suing of a saloon license in Forest
Grove. Both sides had expressed
confidence in the final ontcome of
the case.
The liquor men had announced
that they would open the saloon si
multaneously with the exercses of
the Congregational church tonight.
It will remain closed, and church
services will take on added zest, for
the Cougregationalists; together
with the other church people of the
city, have been behind the Pacific
University in the application for in
junction. The saloon building was com
pleted and fully stocked for busi
ness, but the proprietor had not yet
paid his license money. It is
thought that he will attempt to
operate the place as a "commercial
club," such ashe one which suc
cessfully evaded the prohibitory
ordinance last year. If he does the
university, encouraged by this vic
tory, will try to suppress it.

known that Northwestern millers
fear a shortage of wheat, and con He
(luently the necessity of a shutdown
of the millrf. On this account they
hive been reaching out In all dlrec
dons for a supply of wheat to keep
their mills going until the new crop
is obtainable. Next year It la said,
no American wheat will be exported,
if millers ran prevent It, even though
it be necessary to pay premium prices
to keep this cereal for horre grinding.
Frank Quglieltno, the Italian, who
murdered his sweetheart, Miss Freda
Ouarancia, In Portland, last June,
oecause she would not marry him,
was taken to Salem last week by
Deputy Sheriff Mnreland, and at
once .taken to the penitentiary to
await death. The date aet for the
-ondemned murderer's execution is
Friday, May 6, 1905, and from now
unlit the final day Uuglielmo will b
placed In solitary confinement, with
the customary death watch over him.
fhe aspect of the prisoner is oue o
at ject fear and long confinement has
already lift the mark upon bis cheek
and brow, so that were It not for the
terrible crime for which he Is con
vlcted, one would almost pity the
man. When the time for death ar
rives it Is likely that Quglielmo will
hreaa down utterly, as he Is even
now upon the verge of collapse, and
it Is thought he will have to be
strapped to the board and conveyed
to the gallows and supported when
he tarp is sprung.
There Is a modern tendency to
wink at vice. Youth for pleasure,
ige for business, and old age for reli
gion, is ti.e a bo mu tble adage we fre
quently hear. The lusts of the flesh
are regarded as mere indiscretions,
youthful follies, which mature ag
will correct. Sobriety, mortality, re
I gion will all come In due time.
The wrecks that strew life's seashore
are too common for experience to
give much credence to that Idea,
Without doubt the horror of this
world is that vice which rears Its
monuments in graveyards, hospitals,
garrets, cellars, impaired minds, and
polluted hearts. Men and even
women regard this vice lightly.
Fashionable and moral society places
no baa on this horror. The guilty
and (tolluted wretch mixes with the
land, and Is assured a glad welcome.
The rake ami debauchee cau defy all
ustice but that ol Heaven. So long
as virtuous women are willing to re
ceive moral outcasts as their compan
ions aud fr ends, men will get worse,
instead of belter. It rests largely
with the young women of this coun
try if society is to be raised out of
this swamp ot sensuality to secure
heights of virtue, where God's sun
shines, anil O oil's breeaos blow, and
all life is beautiful. Albert 11 Vert

WIFE VS. WIFE
IN $25,000 SUIT
A HARD FIGHT IN THE COURTS
The Jury Awards the Plaintiff $3,.
OOO Damages--Some Favored
r.iin. Hap SIO.OOO.
The $25,000 damage suit brought
by Mrs. Delia Keen, of Cedar Mills,
the divorced wife of VVm. Keen,
against Mrs. Susan Keen, the pres
sent wife of Keen, held the boards
at the court house from Saturday
until Tuesday and at times was
rich, rare and racy, and attracted a
good sized crowd every day. A
large number of witnesses were
examined for both sides, many of
them being relatives, as well as ac
quatntances and neighbors, , and
each and every one admitted that
the home of Keen while he was liv
ing with his wife Delia was a very
warm proposition, and one row
would hardly cool off before an
other one was on tap. it was as
serted that these family tilts began
shortly after the two were married
after a three days acquaintance and
kept growing from bad to worse un
til Mrs. Reynold's Cnow Susan
Keen) husband died, and she got
him to assist her in administering
her husband's estate. Of course
this business made it necessary for
them to be together a great deal
and they made frequent trips to
Hillsboro, Portland and Eastern
Oregon together, where the couple
combined business and pleasure and
visited friends at Wasco, The Dalles
and other points. It was also
sworn to than when Keen and Mrs.
Reynolds went to Wasco they were
accompanied to Portland by Miss
Sadie Keen, Mr. Keen's daughter,
and that the three occupied the
same room at a hotel that night.
Mrs. Keen and the daughter occu
pying one bed and Mr. Keen an
other, and in the morning Mrs.
Reynold's kindly adjusted his neck
tie and laced his shoes.
After the Wasco trip, it was
sworn to that Mrs. Delia became
unduly jealous of the couple and
not bnly read the riot act to her
husband but informed the widow
that she was getting altogether too
sweet on Keen and the keenest
thing lor her to do would be to let
up and accused her of undue famil
iarity with him during the trip to
Eastern Oregon. But matters did
not mend, but grew steadily worse.
Keen found that helping the widow
administrate her husband's estate
took up much of his time and at
tention and he took many trips to
the little house at the foot of .the
hill occupied by Mrs. Reynolds,
and witnesses swore that as often
four and five times a day she sat
on hts lap and called mm ner
'sweetheart,'' and not to have the
thing all onesided, he would hug
her up in the most approved fash
ion and call her his "dear," "darl
ing," and "pet." One day on the
Portland road, a witness swore, he
saw Keen with his arm around the
widow, and at another time they
were seen walking along the road
hand in band.
The actions of the couple became
such as to set all the tongues at
Cedar Mills wagging, and of course,
what Mrs. Delia Keen could not
see with her own eyes, the neigh
bors kindly told her all about, and
as a man remarked in the court
'h 1 was kept popping in the
Keen home," and the angel of
peace was getting farther and far
ther away. Mrs. Keen upbraided her
husband For his cruel neglect, and
said many things in her anger that
did not please Mr. Keen, and to
show that he was still boss of the
situation he choked her and struck
her on the hip with a strap at the
end of which was a brass buckle.
Mr. Keen found his own home so
hot and uncomfortable that he con
cluded to leave, and as he still had
considerable business to transact
with the widow, and as he had al
ways found things cool, airy and
comfortable there, he concluded to
move id, and did so. Of course
this did not appease the wife's an-

A New Era in Trans-Pacific Trans
portation. The Gieat Northern Steamship
Company in placing in service be
tween Seattle, Wash., and Yokoha
ma, Nagasaki, Kobe, Shanghai and
Hong Kong, the magnificeut Am
erican built steamships the "Min
nesota" and the "Dakota," make a!
new era in transportation facilities I
between the United States and the
Orient. These magnificent steam
ships, with their superior facilities
in handling immense freight car
goes and the luxurious appoint
ments for passenger travel has giv
en an impetus to our oriental trade.
The North Pacific Route to the
Orient is rapidly becoming the
p pular one and now that the two
palatial steamships, "Minnesota"
and "Dakota" have been put in
commission, there is no question
but that a further greater increase
in our trade with the Orient as well
as increased passenger travel to
Asiatic ports will be inaugurated.
The first sailing ofthe "Minnesota,"
in addition to carrying the largest
cargo to the Orient ever carried by
any ship in the world, as well as an
extensive passenger list, augurs
well for the future.
The "Minnesota," will sail on its
next voyage to the Orient on Sat
urday April 29th and it will not be
amiss to ay here that the excel
lence of her passenger accomoda
tions will be heralded to the travel
ing public of the United States by
all who enjoyed the pleasant voy
age across the Pacific on her first
trip, as furnishing the acme of trav
el comfort. The fact that the su
perior accomodations of the Great
Northern Steamship Company in
connection with the comfortable
journey afforded by the Great
Northern Railway to Seattle, the
sailing point of the "Minnesota,"
will make this route the popular
one from Occident to Orient.

Is a shame and a dNgracn to Oregon
justice. But none is so brutal, do-

some friend, some champion to inter

Impossible to detect them at it. Sev
